Tacos like you’ve never had them before!
If there’s one thing I love, it’s tacos. And pizza. And cake. Okay, so there are lots of goodies I love, but tacos definitely make my top 5 favorite foods. I was a bit skeptical of this taco bake since I consider myself a bit of connoisseur, but boy was I pleased with the results!
Not only is this recipe easy to throw together, it’s downright addicting. If you’re looking for a quick, simple meal to please a crowd (or your hungry family), then this is the dish for you!

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Brown ground beef and onion in a skillet. Add taco seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and water and simmer until water has reduced.
Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese to the beef mixture and stir well.
Roll puff pastry out onto prepared sheet pan and pierce with a fork in several places. Roll edges slightly around entire pastry to create a crust.
Spoon beef mixture onto puff pastry and spread evenly over the pastry. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove and cool for 10 minutes.
